Also, listen to the trill in her voice that Edit Pilaf ripped off.

My Mom and I watched Josephine Baker film reels when they were shown at the Regal or the Halsted Theatre. My mom was born in 1912 and was a real fan of Ms. Baker but recounted many of her contemporaries faulted her when she left America to live in France. They felt she was running away rather than standing on the front lines fighting against racism, lynching and segregation. Black Americans then were real race men and race women.

She was way before her time.......She's actually timeless!!!!
-
@iampeniel Oh yes, the US media still does it. Look what they did to Diana Ross.and more recently, Lauryn Hill.
-
It is the USA way to demoralize or demonize a woman even in this day and age but a black woman in the 1920s that was unafraid of her talent and sexuality. Even now sex is still taboo in certain areas of the USA, I have never understood it.

The original sex symbol. She was totally awesome and ahead of her time. I only wish more people knew who she was. Long live LA BAKER. Love you forever.

She is an icon. I have been fascinated about her since I discovered her autobiography by chance when I was in 6th grade at the school library. I love her. I love that I can see her perform and hear her voice. She's a star!

She was in her early 60s here. Still so sexy....I'd go to bed with her in a heartbeat of my RAPID beating heart.....xxxxxxxxxoooooooooox
xxxxxto you JOSEPHINE!!! -
It's not the best show at all (she was actually performing due to heavy drugs in those days) and she had a sign when she couldn't anymore. Then we got 8 counts to the final 8 bars. No encores... she was really dragged to her dressing room, .... :( But it's a nice medley of her famous songs! :)

Always loved her. She is my idol. Plz post more...

@musicalErin18 if she died in 1968, it's kinda freaky that they put her on stage on April 8 1975 in the review Josephine a Bobino 1975... in front of Princess Grace & Jackie Onassis, no less. Or was that her evil twin ya think?

The shame is how she was treated in the United States. Walter Winchell and I believe also Hedda Hopper demonized her. She was shamefully dismissed.
I'm glad there is this film of her performing in her later years when she had her brief, but wonderful, comeback.
La Baker est manifique!!!
